|Spoiler warning: Major plot information follows.
Join Emma Swan as she struggles to understand whether she belongs in New York City, where she has begun a new life with Henry, or back in Storybrooke, where things have never been simple. As she works to provide a stable environment for her and Henry, she learns that there's no place like home. But the question remains: where is that for Emma?
Welcome to Storybrooke, Maine, a small town that probably won't show up on your GPS, but it's a magical place to visit. Reality and myth merged after Emma broke Regina's curse, which had deprived the fairytale characters of their memories and trapped them in our modern world. When they finally regained their identities, our heroes were dismayed to discover that they weren't transported back to Fairy Tale Land. To make matters worse, Rumplestiltskin - aka Mr. Gold - decided to escalate his power struggle with Regina by introducing magic into the town. But this is our world, and magic always has a tendency to yield unfathomable consequences.
The first order of business this season was to save Henry, who had been kidnapped and transported through a portal to Neverland. But Neverland was a much darker place than one remembers, and our heroes had to face a foe more powerful than the Dark One himself - Peter Pan. After being tricked and led astray for days - and learning that he was also Rumplestiltskin's father - Pan was defeated and trapped inside Pandora's Box. Our heroes returned to Storybrooke, only to discover that Pan had switched bodies with Henry and was about to enact a curse that would have killed every living soul in town. But after discovering the switch and restoring Henry back into his body, Rumplestiltskin paid the ultimate price by sacrificing his life and killing Pan. In turn, Regina obliterated her original curse, which erased Storybrooke from existence and whisked its residents back to Fairy Tale Land, leaving Emma and Henry together back in our world with pleasant memories - but with no memories of Storybrooke or its residents, and with Storybrooke itself seemingly gone for good.
And they all lived happily ever after... Hardly!
All is not well back in the Enchanted Forest when Hook comes calling on Emma in New York City in an attempt to jog her memory so that she can once again help her fairy tale family and friends out of a desperate situation. Everyone she holds dear is in danger as a new foe emerges - the Wicked Witch of the West. Hook now must enlist Emma in an epic struggle that spans worlds: with the highest stakes possible - the fate of her family. No one remembers how they were transported back or the past year they had spent back in Fairy Tale Land. But someone in town is responsible for this curse, and all clues point to the Wicked Witch of the West, whose agenda in our world is a mystery. In an attempt to break the curse, new fairytale characters will be revealed and old acquaintances will be revisited. But not everyone can be trusted.[1]
|Spoilers end here.
The story is set in the fictional small town of Storybrooke, Maine. The town is populated by characters from fairy tales, who have been exiled to the real world by a curse cast by the Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla) as part of a revenge plot against Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas). Because of the curse, most of the inhabitants of Storybrooke have no memory of their "true" identities, and have been stuck in Storybrooke for years.
This changes when Henry (Jared Gilmore), the adopted son of Storybrooke's Mayor Regina, seeks out his birth mother, Emma (Jennifer Morrison), a bounty hunter living in Boston. He convinces her to come to Storybrooke. Henry knows about the curse from a storybook given to him by his teacher, Mary Margaret. He tells Emma that she is the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, and that she is destined to break the curse holding everyone in Storybrooke. Skeptical, Emma decides to stay in Storybrooke only after seeing how lonely Henry is, and how emotionally neglected he is by his adoptive mother. In staying, Emma continues to run afoul of Mayor Mills. This conflict increases when Emma becomes the town Sheriff.
Each episode usually focuses on one main character who is experiencing some sort of conflict in Storybrooke. Flashbacks show what the character's story was in the fairytale world. In the first season, almost all of the flashbacks involve Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) making deals with the protagonists as part of some sort of complicated plot. In Storybrooke, Rumplestiltskin is known as Mr. Gold, the wealthiest man in town.
Beginning in Season Two, the curse is now been broken, but the narrative continues to follow a similar pattern, with multiple story lines being followed each episode. The first arc of the season explores Mary Margaret and Emma's adventures in post-curse Enchanted Forest attempting to find a method of returning home, so some episodes alternate between present day Storybrooke and present day Enchanted Forest. They are joined by new allies, Lancelot (Sinqua Walls), Mulan (Jamie Chung) and Aurora (Sarah Bolger) while being sidetracked by the villainous witch, Cora (Barbara Hershey) and vengeful pirate, Hook (Colin O'Donoghue). The second season also explores a previously unseen time period, the events of Emma's past in the Land Without Magic during the curse along with her past romance history with Neal Cassidy (Michael Raymond-James). Season Two also sees the introduction of another world, the Land Without Color, where the infamous Dr. Victor Frankenstein (David Anders) originates from. Season Two features various conflicts, like Regina's alliance with Cora to kill Mr. Gold and Emma and Neal's awkward reconciliation for the sake of family despite the unresolved feelings between them. Additionally, a giant named Anton (Jorge Garcia) invades town and later presents himself as an asset to the townspeople by helping them grow magic beans for a future return to the Enchanted Forest. In the midst of all this, Regina reunites with a blast from the past, Greg Mendell (Ethan Embry), who questions her for answers about his missing father, Kurt Flynn (John Pyper-Ferguson). Along with him, Tamara (Sonequa Martin-Green), having integrated herself into Neal's life as his fiancée, enters town with the actual agenda to work with Greg in eliminating magic for their mysterious and unseen employees, The Home Office.
The first half of Season Three is based in Neverland and has three episodes set in Storybrooke. This season introduces characters from several different fairy tales including Peter Pan (Robbie Kay), Tinker Bell (Rose McIver) and Ariel (JoAnna Garcia) while further expanding on their past back stories, which intertwine with pre-existing characters. The plot focuses on saving Henry from Peter Pan and safely returning home to Storybrooke. At the conclusion of the first half of the season, Henry is rescued and the group returns to Storybrooke where Mr. Gold defeats Pan and both perish, but not before Pan enacts a new Dark Curse that will eliminate every Storybrooke resident's memories. Regina is able to stop Pan's curse only by using the Dark Curse's scroll to undo the original curse, destroying Storybrooke thereby sending everyone back to the Enchanted Forest, except Emma and Henry. Both of their memories are altered so that they remember a life in which Emma did not give up her son. A year has passed and the two have made a new life in New York City.
The second half of the season will focus on Emma and Henry's life since Storybrooke's destruction and will contain flashbacks to the past year spent by the others in the Enchanted Forest. New characters will be introduced, including Rapunzel (Alexandra Metz) and the Wicked Witch of the West (Rebecca Mader).

|And they lived happily ever after...or so everyone was led to believe. Emma Swan knows how to take care of herself. She's a 28-year-old bail bondsperson who's been on her own ever since she was abandoned as a baby. But when Henry -- the son she gave up years ago -- finds her, everything changes. Henry is now 10 years old and in desperate need of Emma's help. He believes that Emma actually comes from an alternate world and is Snow White and Prince Charming's missing daughter. According to his book of fairytales, they sent her away to protect her from the Evil Queen's curse, which trapped the characters of fairytale world forever, frozen in time, and brought them into our modern world.
Not believing a word of Henry's story, Emma brings him back to Storybrooke, but finds herself drawn to this unusual boy and his strange New England town. Concerned for him, she decides to stay for a while, but soon comes to suspect that Storybrooke is more than it seems. It's a place where magic has been forgotten, but is still powerfully close...where fairytale characters are alive, even though they don't remember who they once were, and where the Evil Queen, known as Regina, is now Henry's foster mother. The epic battle for the future of all worlds is beginning, and for good to win, Emma will have to accept her destiny and fight like hell.

Emma agrees to let Regina teach her how to use magic so that she can help defeat Zelena, and Mary Margaret and David try to prove that they can be just as much fun as Hook is with Henry -- who thinks they are boring. Meanwhile, in Fairy Tale Land during the past year, an angry Ariel confronts Hook over her missing Prince Eric, who she assumes was kidnapped and possibly killed by the swarthy pirate. But when Hook confesses that the Jolly Roger has been stolen and Eric is most likely the thief's prisoner, Ariel unknowingly provides him with a clue as to who the culprit is, and Hook – with Ariel in tow - goes off in search of his ship.

Honeywell Replacement Humidifier Filter Product Reviews
Model Number: HC-809
Category: Humidifiers
Color: white
Price: $9.99
Honeywell Replacement Humidifier Filter Details
Temporarily Out Of Stock
Filter works well but has to replaced very often. It does not last as long as I'd hoped.
Honeywell Filter
I had looked everywhere for a filter to fit my humidifier. I stumbled upon KAZ, and lo and behold they had it. Great company,
fast service, and good products.
Nice product
These work great in my humidifiers, hope thery never quit making or stocking them.
Great Filter
Buy these repeatedly. Always top quality. Always great fit.
Appears to be a good product. I'm more concerned about the size. I ordered two of these to try and find a replacement for filter WF815. You don't show this number on your listing anymore, and this is what I need for a couple of humidifiers that I have. Any suggestions?
Honeywell Humidifier Filter
The filter was good quality and fit my humidifier space well.
Same Super
Same quality. Same service.
Humidifier filter
I was greatly satisfied with my filters I could purchase through Kaz. I was not able to find them in retail stores and you provided this service directly to my house for about the same price as at the store. Thanks Kaz. Please thank the lady I talked with on the phone, who was very helpful about explaining how to order.
This was an older humidifier that I got from my in-laws. I didn't think I would find a filter. I'm glad the manufacturer still had it available. It works great!
these filters do an excellent job wicking water into the humidifier.
This to some degree is a catch 22. Without the filters the humidifier is of no value, without the humidifier who needs filters. My humidifer is a god sent and I use it all winter long. My reason I keep coming back to you is the ease of replacement filters. It`s fast, simple and very easy to use your web seight. I am also able to shop or see what I maybe needing in the futher.
We have an old faithful Duracel humidifier, and could not tell from the website which filter to buy. We purchansed the HC-809 which seems to work, but discovered in a printed order sheet in the box with the filter that seems to indicate we sould have bought an AC815. Oh well, it seems to be working. The products are excellent, shipment was fast but the odering process is confusing.
We have been using these Filters for our Duracraft Humidifier for over 10 years. We bought the orginial item for my father in a
nursing home as the air was so dry. After he passed away 12 years ago, I brought the humidifier home and we have been using it
ever since. The filters are durable, easy to keep clean and most important for us we can order them from your company
as none of our drugstores carry them.
I dread the day we have to look for a new product as these machine flilters are great and the ease in buying from your company is
a large help to me..
I hope my Duracraft last forever(don't think so) so i can continue the ease in buying these filters.
Thank You.

OTTAWA — The RCMP has discovered and obtained newly revealed monthly calendar backups for suspended Sen. Pamela Wallin in an ongoing investigation into whether the former Conservative senator committed fraud and breach of trust.
The new backups are expected to shed light on the senator's previously audited calendars, which she admitted to changing while she was being investigated by an external auditing firm over her inappropriate travel spending.
New documents released Wednesday show that RCMP computer forensic investigators were at the Senate on Nov. 8 to collect items requested in an earlier court order when they learned the Senate possessed monthly calendar backups for July to December 2012. A court order for the documents was signed Dec. 3 and backups from July to November 2012 were seized on Dec. 19.
"According to the Senate Network Services Department and the RCMP computer forensic investigators, the monthly backups will provide additional information relative to the calendar of Senator Wallin," writes RCMP Const. Michael Johnson in the documents released Wednesday.
In November, an RCMP court filing alleged Wallin's inappropriate spending had been a problem since she entered the red chamber in 2009. A court order demanded the Senate and auditors from the external auditing firm Deloitte hand over a number of documents including Wallin's personal and corporate credit card billing statements, her mobile phone billing statements and her electronic calendar.
The November document noted Deloitte had looked at three versions of Wallin's electronic Microsoft Outlook calendar from January 2009 to September 2012 and observed more than 500 changes.
Wallin had told Deloitte she added some items to her calendar and deleted others in May 2013 to help with the investigation. When pressed as to why, she said she wanted to make the investigation as streamlined as possible and so she had taken out some non-Senate related events and added other events relevant to her role as a senator. Wallin said this was done on the advice of Sen. David Tkachuk, former chair of the Senate's internal economy committee, but he has denied this.
Johnson said in November that he "believe(s) that all versions of these calendars must be examined to compare entries that occurred contemporaneously as well as more current calendar examples to show any modifications."
He added that the hundreds of inconsistencies and discrepancies in the calendars "warrant further investigation" and "will afford evidence" of the allegations of fraud and breach of trust.
Wallin, along with fellow embattled senators Mike Duffy and Patrick Brazeau, was suspended from the Senate without pay in November.
The RCMP allegations against her have not been tested in court and Wallin has not been charged with any wrongdoing.

Admiral Sir John Ross, 1777 - 1856. Arctic explorer
- Scottish Art
Ross, the son of a lowland minister, joined the Navy at the age of nine and rose to the rank of Rear-Admiral. In 1818 he commanded the first of a series of government-backed expeditions to discover a northern sea-route from the Atlantic to the Pacific - the Northwest passage. On his second Arctic expedition in 1829 Ross's ship, the Victory, was trapped in ice for years and had eventually to be abandoned. In 1834 Ross was knighted for his services to Polar exploration. Only the thick fur wrap in this portrait hints at the bitter conditions of Ross's travels.

fierce fury when a great city goes up in flames.
It takes a Detroit to arouse the nation. But Detroit took a toll
of 43 dead and brought inJury to more than 1,000 people, many of whom were
peaceful bystanders. Far 5 days the over-all casual ties in Detroit ran at a

reliance ou force is a formula oot so much tor solutions as for stretching a
summer of seething diaorder illto all autumn of s1Dillering discontellt and so on,
from season to aeaaon and y..z to year.
The cure of urban ills involves something more than force, eveD as
force is essellti&l ill tbe restoration of an order which has broken down. On
that subject, let me say that for too long, we have expected too much for too
11 ttle from the police of the nation. The police are more often than not under-paid,
underprivileged, over-used and over-abused. Indeed, it is DOt unusual
to hear the cry of "police brut&li ty" while a policean is being hit over the
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 43, Folder 89, Mansfield Library, University of Montana

A well-trained and disciplined police and the availability of a
graduated supplement of force is an essential. characteristic of every orderly
society in the world. Anyone who makes light of the dangerous and difficult
work of the police makes light of his own life and of civUized survival.
The safety and order of the community is the first reeponsibW ty
of organized government. On that score, tbere can be no uocertain trllllq)et
and, insofar as the federal government is concerned, there is no uncertain
'truaqlet. Riots will not be tolerated and rioters will not be rewarded. I
want to say that insofar &s the recent crises in the cities are concerned,
the Government has acted, in my Jud8J1ent, With a blend of a firm resolve in
the face of violence and a wise understanding of the plight of the urban areas.
Riots have been suppressed} they will continue to be suppressed.
Rioters have not been rewarded; they will not be rewarded.
But I would hope that we would all keep our perspective. We do oot
reward rioters when we improve the diet, the education, and the health of little
children. We do not reward rioters when we stimilla.te the building of the kind
of housing and neighborhoods in which people can live decently and safely.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 43, Folder 89, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 4 -
We do not reward rioters when we try to curb air pollution and assure a plentiful
supply of pure water in met.ropol1tan areas. We do not reward rioters l-lhen we
seek to protect infants from rats.
It io one thing to reject rioting. It is another, however, to turn
our backs on the diffieul.ties of the urban areas because riots have occurred
in them. Those dii'ficul.ties were there before the riots. They were there
during the riots. They are there now. The nation's responaibili ty for con-
!'rooting these difi'icultiea existed before the riots. It existed during the
riots. It exists nov.
It is our sood fortune to live in a State where the standard ills
of pollution, delinquency, ghetto a aDd the like are not yet fixed inati tutions.
Yet, the serious decay of urban America is of deep concern to me as I am sure
it is to you aDd I bope that it is to all Americana wherever they may live.
The tillle is past, if it ever existed, when one part of the American
ccmm.unity could ignore with impunity to itself, serious problems in the others.
The fact is that distinctions of rural and urban ar. fast losing significance

in this nation. Americans are moving in increasing nwnbers into and around the
cities of the nation. By the year 2000, l50 million Americans will lla.ve been
added ·~ the population of the United States aod it is anticipated that most
of the increase will be housed in great metropolitan complexes.
Tnat is but one relevant statistic. There is no end to other statistics
which will tell us what we already know about the urban problem. They will tell
of the disintegratiou of the physical environment by pollution of air and water.
They will tell of the trek of the im;proveriahed into the central cities and the
flight out of those w1 th means. They will tell of t.lte srim diacontent that
stalks the streets of the sluma, of the lack of employment opportunities tberein
and of the aecwnul&tion of the permanently unemployable. They will tell of the
massive breakdown of family life, inadequate schools and poor recreation
facilities. They will tell of miserable housing, hunger, and rats. Statistics
will tell, in aum, in modern •thema.tic&l idiom, an ancient story of human
poverty, neglect and degradation.
There has indeed been a long night of violence in the cities of the
nation. There has also been a long night ot neglect of the needs of the cities.

That is not to say that an effort has not been made, "to get the
cit1eo moving again."
These efforts have cost e. great deal of money. They are going to
cost more. We are properly concerned with these costa and with the effective-ness
of the efforts. We can properly inquire into the great number of programs
which have put into operation in the lut ffW years. l·1ay I say that I have
advocated for several years n more vigorous exercise of legislative review
by the Congress in thia connection. And various Senate committees are proceed-ing
with the Job of evaluating, adjusting and improving this vast body of
It will help to keep a perepective in this process, however, if we
note that tbe coat of the federal progt-ams 'Which are directed heavily nt the
urban and other social ills of the nation run to illions a year less than the
coat or the Viet Be.m war and are but a f"raction of the budget or th Department
or Defense wbich now reaches an over-all annual figure or about $70 billion.
As we have been prepm·ed. to make the effort for security of others abroad and
particularly the security or Viet Nam, we must al.ao be prepared to act for the
inner security and stability of the nation.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 43, Folder 89, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
For t;hose of us who do not live in cities, no less than tor those
who do, there is a ueed to recognize that the way to restrain the mushrooming
of violence is to de:ruse the seethine; inner cores of the metropoli to.n areas.
As I have already noted, there can be no uncertain trumpet when the safety
.aDd order of the community ere challenged. But the trumpet woul.d sound a
hollow note, indeed, if it blew over devastated community after devastated
community ~~u~out the nation.
As in the cities, so in Viet Jiam1 there has been from the outset of
the involvement almost universal. asreement tbat a. rational solution in Viet Bam
is not attainable by force alone. Nevertheless, the reliance on force has grown,
escalation b)' escol&tion, untU now there are few, if any rational military
steps left to take within Viet Nu. What was still a primitive war emons
Vietnamese a few years ago has grown by successive and mutual increases in the
application of force to tb.e point where it has become a. devastating war, i'ougb.t
with a great range of modern weapons. It haa become a var, m.oreo'IU, which now
finds the United States in the foregoUDd, and our Vietnamese and other allies

in the backgroUDd, against Borth Vietnamese and the VietCong in the foreground
opposite and w1 th China and Russia in the background opposite.
As late as May 1965, there were still only 45,000 u.s. troops in
Viet Ncn. A 78&r aDd a half later, however, the number was 4oo,ooo. Tod~
it stands at well over 450,000 and the commitment is expected to grow to
approximately 5251 000 in mid-1968. These figures do not begin to take into
account the tens of thousands of men in units of the 7th Fleet in Vietnamese
waters nor the back-up forces in Okinawa and elsewhere, nor the heavy bomber
squadrons flying out of Guam and Thail&Dd.
The input of mare than halt a ~aillion American soldiers into the
Vietnamese conflict does not mean that the end of the war is in sight. The
end is not even in li~t insofar as the demand for more men and IDOre resources
18 coDCerMd. There is talk of the need for one or two more divisions of
troops. There 1a talk of sending Americans into the delta of the Mekong River
south of Saigon, which is the Viet Cong stro~old and has heretofore been the
responsibWty of the South Vietnamese Army. There is pressure to enlarge and
intensity the bombing of Korth Viet Bam even though U.s. planes have already
flown to within less than 30 seconds of the Chinese border on bombing missions.

I do not know how much of the potential for an enlarged involvement
in Viet Hem will materiaJ.iZe except that on the basis ot experiel.lCe to date,
the only reasonable conclusion is that escalation will beget escalation. I
do know that there is no reason to assume that additional air action will
achieve what air action w1.s supposed to have achieved months ago but has not
achieved; that is, a cut off of supplies and men moving south and the bringing
of Hanoi to the peace table.
I do know that when the great build·up of U.s. forces began in mid-
1965, the regular South Vietnamese amy waa suffering eight combat deaths for
evfll'y American killed in action. In 1966, that ratio had dropped to two
South Vietnamese for each American. This year, American combat deaths are
on a one-tor-one basis with the South Vietnamese forces aDd the total of u.s.
dead and wounded in the Viet Nam contliet now exceeds 100,000.
The costs of the var, too, have risen with the ex,panded involvement.
About this time last year, with 235,000 Am.erican troops stationed in Viet Ham,
the annual cost was estimated at $13 billion, or slightly fllQl'e than $1 billion
a month. At year's end, the annual rate of expenditure tor Viet Ham vas at an
estimated $21 billion or nearly $2 billion a month. T~, it is generall.y
calculated that monthly costa are at leaat $2.5 billion.

I do not know where a solution for Viet Nam may lie or of what it
might consiot. I caa only say that I know where it does not appear to lie and
of what it does not seem to consist. In lilY judsnent, peace does not lie in
ever addltiona:l inputs of u.s. forces or in ever expanding boo.lbing forays.
This 1a not a new view for me. I have felt that such was the case
when there were less than 50,000 Americans 1n Viet l~am. I ~ it now when
the1·e are close to 500,000. After a mission to Viet Bam in the company of
several Senate colleagues, almost t'.ro years ago, "W'e reported that the question
which confronts th18 nation in Viet fam ". • • is not one of applying increased
u.s. pressure to a defined mUitary situation but rather of pressing against
a IIlilitary situation which is, in effect, open ended."
Despite the new current of rumors in vlashington and elsewhere that
the enemy is "on the ropes," or that we are "over the bump, 11 I can see no
reason to discard the premise that the war in Viet Nam is open•euded--that
the logical sequence ot greater U.s. involvement is still greater involvement,
and so on, untU the monster of war runa amuck over the entire Southeast Asian
ma.inJaud, if not tbrouaJlout the world. Behind the guerrilla war in South
Viet Bam, there are still the largely unengaged i'ox-ces of North Viet Bam's

Vivian is Wonderful! – I have blonde hair and blonde lashes and wanted to try out the Extreme Lashes. I started with the "party set" and have been going back ever since for refills. The lashes look real, not fake, and that's the look I was going for. Vivian is very sweet and pleasant and that makes going all the better. I do love the Extreme Lashes. :)
Great pedicures and awesome threading – Serenity is a great place for pedicures. The threading is a better alternative to waxing....which always breaks out my skin.
Consistently good work – My sister took me here when I came to visit her one weekend. I got a great nail tech and have been requesting her ever since. What a value for such a beautiful place! Love the fountain and Christian music. Highly recommend.
Clean Salon – I love Serenity Nail Salon in Mansfield so much that I drive from Burleson:) I tell all my friends to go try the xtreme lashes or Airbrush tan. I have had both and they look great. It is a great place to get all your girlfriends together for a birthday party or just a day at the Salon. I have had a few party's at the Salon and now all my friends are customers. The number one thing I love about Serenity is how nice the people are and how clean the Salon is... I could go to a closer Salon but it is worth it to me to know that I am safe.
Editorial Review – Serenity Nail Salon & Skin Care provides quality nail and skin products in the Mansfield area.
Best customer service around – I've been to many nail salons in my days, and this one by far takes the cake. Not only is it amazingly decorated inside (not your standard pink walls), but the staff is very friendly and professional. They are only allowed to speak English, so you don't sit there the whole time wondering if they are talking about you! You are immediately greeted when you walk in and are offered something to drink. They also provide numerous services such as the normal manicure/pedicure,but also spray tanning, extreme lashes, facials, and waxing! The prices are very reasonable as well. Definitely a place I will return to!
Best experience and incredibly sanitary!!! – This is the place to go for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The employees are very personable and I've never seen a more sanitary nail salon. The foot baths on the massage chairs are bleached out after every customer. The nail instruments are sterilized!!! I've never seen an autoclave at a nail salon before, but this place ensures that everything is sanitary. I'd be shocked if you ever caught any kind of fungus from Serenity. I recommend this place to all my friends and family. Not to mention the inside is beautiful...not just white walls and stock furniture. Excellent place for a nail social with friends!
Friendly staff and relaxing experience – I have been going to Serenity Nail Salon in Mansfield since they opened a couple of years ago. Receptionists greet you when you walk in and make you feel at home. May seem funny to say, but they all speak English! It is especially important to me that they take appointments and usually run on time since I am a busy sales person. Their Deluxe Pedicure is a steal at only $35 for the works. You can also get an all-over airbrush tan for only $40 and it only takes about 30 minutes. I was glad to find them and have been a loyal customer ever since.

Among the mystifying contentions of President Obama, his acolytes, and supporters is that, "We've tried trickle-down economics and it doesn't work."
Really? What history books have they been reading?
World War II got American industrial production into high gear and ended the Great Depression. But it did so by creating demand for products aimed at winning a war, not improving living conditions on the home front.
In 1945, even before the surrender of Japan, Democrat Harry Truman and a Democratic Congress recognized the time had come to shift gears. They cut taxes on businesses and individuals by 13 percent. This stimulated consumer spending and business investment and eased the transition to a peacetime economy.
A decade and a half later, John F. Kennedy pushed for tax cuts that included a sharp reduction in marginal income tax rates. Kennedy believed this would stimulate the economy, and in the long run raise tax revenue. He was correct. Tax cutting in the Truman and Kennedy years laid the foundation for an economic boom that other nation's could only dream of emulating.
Unfortunately, the boom ended in the 1970s because of disastrous fiscal and monetary policies. Richard Nixon sought to tame inflation with wage and price controls, thinking government could dictate the behavior of markets through bureaucratic meddling. If Nixon is suffering eternal damnation in the netherworld, it's because of this sin, and not the sins of Watergate.
President Ford tried to stabilize the dollar by passing out WIN buttons (Whip Inflation Now). President Carter followed up by telling Americans they would have to learn how to live with less in a world that was running out of resources. Sound familiar?
Ronald Reagan would have none of this. He supported Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul Volcker's sound dollar policy. With the help of Democrats, including House Speaker Tip O'Neill, he slashed marginal tax rates as Kennedy did, eliminated many of the economic distortions embedded in the tax code, and promoted economic deregulation. From 1982 to the end of Reagan's second term, the nation's nominal GDP nearly doubled, and tax revenue increased by about 25 percent.
The Reagan Revolution boosted prosperity and restored the nation's sense of confidence. Bill Clinton had enough sense not to mess too much with the Reagan formula. He raised marginal income tax rates. But he also joined with Republicans in cutting the capital gains tax rate and in holding down spending. These two factors, more than anything, is what brought the budget into balance near the end of Clinton's second term.
The 2001 tax cut pushed by George W. Bush helped jolt the nation out of recession and the shock of 9-11. Whether subsequent tax cuts were wise is a matter of conjecture, but the problem of a burgeoning deficit during the Bush years was due more to too much spending than too little revenue.
Today, the debate over taxes rages again, buy why? President Obama's own National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform calls for lowering marginal income tax rates, including the top ones, coupled with the elimination of tax loopholes that distort the economy and benefit mainly the wealthy. Yet, the president insists on raising tax rates for upper income people, which would do next to nothing to address the dire fiscal straits in which the nation finds itself.
For their part, Republicans balk at the revenue raising aspect of Bowles-Simpson, which would bring in one dollar to the Treasury for every four the tax rate cuts would take away. Such opposition is shortsighted. Streamlining the tax code would save a fortune in compliance costs, which amount to hidden taxes that go to accountants and lawyers rather than the IRS.
The nation is nearing a fiscal cliff, and falling off will lead to devastating economic consequences for the United States. Yet, political figures are treating this as a game of deadly "chicken," barreling toward each other at high speed, expecting the other side to veer off at the last instant.
The framework for compromise exists in Bowels-Simpson. Real leaders, in the mold of a Jack Kennedy or a Ronald Reagan, would have jumped to embrace it.

What does Fashion Week mean for you in New York City?
It's the ultimate girly experience. I try not to make it too like the most important thing in life, but when I am sitting on the [unknown] runway, getting the green dress is the most important thing in life.
Why do you think Fashion Week is important for a place like New York City?
New York is a lot about style and about beauty and-- you know, there is a craft to it. I think it's dangerous when you take it a little too seriously and it becomes [unknown].
Hi, Rachelle Hruska at Guest of a Guest in Cosmo. We're finally at the last day of Fashion Week. Now, it's time to party. Can you tell the women watching what you would look for in a girl? What kind of outfit or style do you go for?
I like simple things. The hips slightly on the side, [unknown].
So we just got to Collective Hardware. We're going into a party. That's the [unknown] hippest event of the night. Why is Fashion Week important?
Because superficiality is vital to the human's journey.
We got a real Georgian southern belle behind us at Fashion Week, her first one.
My very first one. If you all haven't been-- y'all, excuse me.
Bring it out.
If you guys haven't been to Fashion Week before, I think it's definitely a fun time, better than Christmas, better than any other time in the city, I think.
The best part about Fashion Week. [unknown] hi.
The parties, man.
Hi, there. There aren't any mistakes for fashion and anybody who thinks so is insane.
Tell me about your style.
I'm a bit of a pirate, bit of a gypsy.
So now we're taking you to a secret underground party in New York City. It's so secret it doesn't have an address. It only has a street corner and you need a password to get in. We have the password. We're gonna take you there.
We're going to a sticker party. Come on.
Fashion is important because it gives you an ability to express yourself. I mean, it's what is your first-- The first impression you have to make is the statement you make with your clothing.
Some tips to girls about what they need to have in their wardrobes this fall?
You need to have lots of jewelry. You need to have big statement pieces.
What's the payoff for someone that's being judged that's gonna go to a Fashion Week show and be judged by a writer like you? Do they have any payoff in that?
All press is good press and sometimes bad press is good press. So wear it, work it and go for it. It's what I say.
What's a faux pas you've seen? Is there such thing as a faux pas?
I don't know. You know, I analyze that a lot. I think that if you're not confident in it, it's a faux pas. I also think some colors are too much together, but I think at the end of the day, fashion is about image and if that means faux pas, c'est la vie.
Tell me why fashion is so important?
I think that creativity and its expression through various designers is a way of making a statement.
Oh, I'm so sad that Fashion Week is over. But thankfully, fashion and parties never stop in New York City. Make sure you check out GuestOfAGuest.com in Cosmo for more stories.

Open 24 hours
Neighborhoods: Central San Antonio, Downtown
We loved Mi Tierra, the food was great and the service excellent. Still craving their fabulous Bloody Mary's! The atsphomere is very festive and colorful.
My opinion hope it gets to right people – The atmosphere is great. The food is pricey but good considering the location and the mariachi and trio available for special occasions. Now the taste of food is something else. I think their plates are pretty filling. The cooks need to work on making better mexican rice. I have lived in SA all my life and that is the place we always take our relatives from out of town. Their Pan de Dulce is excellent. As for the waiting as long as they provide seating while you wait it's fine with me.
There is much better pan de dulce in San Antonio..... – I know Mi Tierra is a tourist hot spot. If you're a native though, there are much places to get much better pan de dulce in San Antonio. MT puts cinnamon in everything, and that doesn't belong in all Mexican pastries. Try some other small family bakeries on the near-west and west sides. Been going to Los Cocos on West Ave since 1982, and they don't disappoint. I even mail their empanadas to my daughter in Phoenix.
Best mexican I have ever had! – This was my husband, and my first time to San Antonio. My friend who has been here many times recommeded this restaurant.
I can't believe the reviews can be anywhere from excellent, to the worst ever.
I agree this may be just a tad pricey, but, it is soooooo worth it. It is the best Mexican food, I have ever had.
The portions are not small, as others have claimed, we are both big eaters, and did not finish our lunches. All the waitstaff was great. The place is decorated with tons of lights, I thought it was neat.
Point, being, I think you just need to try it for yourself. I loved it.
Over-rated...Over-rated...Over-rated! – Do you like long lines in intense humidity? Like to pay insane prices for small portions? Enjoy waiting over an hour from the time you order until your food arrives? Like noisy/crowded places where old wait staff see you as another annoying anglo? Then you'll love Mi Tierra....if not, skip it. The food is pretty good, but nothing else here is.........
Friends dont' let friends eat here. – Food is borderline bad. I had been warned about this place and still thought it would be fun for our young kids. I was shocked to see our queso was $8.50. When it arrived it was a below average bowl of radioactive looking orange cheese product. Our meals were both over 14 bucks which is what I expected but it was no better than a popular 24 Tex Mex fast place we all know and love.
The reason we came was for the mariachis. They were fine I guess. I was prepared to tip/pay for them to sing to the kids. However I don't like the way they solicit themselves. They asked my son, "Do you want me to play you a song?", then lean in and whisper to the parent, " I charge 5 dollars a song." Kind of hard to say know in that situation.
The mariachis don't' stop coming. After the initial group we were fine. But every 5 minutes a different group came. Then random people came by trying to sell us pictures of ourselves. I wish our waiter came by that often.
The place is decorated very festively. I will give them that.
The sad thing is when you ask people from San Antonio, there isn't a single good place to eat Tex Mex on the river… so I guess this is where you have to go…sigh
Average place nothing to get excited about – the place looks nice but that's about it.smallest basket or should say bowl of chips ever got in my life. Over priced little high. I think they just thrive on tourist who know no better! Go to anther spot like la margarita. Waiter was good old school did like that but the rest rude. They have exit and register line to get in don't go to wrong side because they will look at you crazy. Not worth the. Cost on food it's just avg. Aug 11 review.
A fun excursion... – I have been eating here and taking out of town guests here for 37 years. Is it the best Mexican food in town? Heavens no. Is it as bad as some have said here? Heavens no. But, you can enjoy a fun time with good food and OK margaritas and beer any time of day or night. This is not intended to be "cuisine". I have never been here without a substantial wait except for prearranged private parties. Not all of those people in line are from out of town! Draw your own conclusion.
Tourist Trap – Four of us visited Tuesday, July 13. It is a beautifully decorated place with lots of atmosphere........from there it's all downhill. Weak and expensive drinks, mediocre food also very expensive and the very worst service we have received anywhere in years. We spilled some salsa on the table and the waiter, Angel, came by and literally threw some paper towles at us. We asked for more salsa and he said "it may be a while".
